Governors of 48 states and tin
territories of Hawaii and Alaska
have accepted appointments i-
ihonorary chairmen for the parties
through their sections of the na-
tion. Senators and congressmen
have thrown their influence in*
the anti-paralysis fight.

generosity In the rav of any en-
deavor so Important to the ;; n-
eral national life, is devoting col-
umns of space to the organization
work of national and local commit-
tees and to the entertainment fea-
ture,, of the national fostivitles. Ir.
many cases newspaper publishers
Slave assisted the National commit-
tee by suggesting the appointment
of local chairmen.

are contributing many celebrities to
enhance the interest in tin- par-
